What to do when Machine Clean icon shows on the home applianceKind of codeReminders, not failures
Nothing has broken; the appliance has been counting hours, cycles or gallons and is asking for its routine care. A refrigerator lights a filter icon after about six months of water, a front-load washer suggests a tub-clean cycle after a set number of loads, a steam oven or a dishwasher asks for descaling or rinse aid, and some dryers remind you to check the exhaust. Do the task the reminder names, reset it the way the manual describes, and write the date in the service record.

A laundry drum smelling musty gives off a damp, sour or mildew odor when the door opens, and passes it on to clean clothes, towels and the laundry room itself.
MakeSKS
SKS kitchens combine column refrigeration, pro ranges with built-in sous vide and steam-combi ovens, so water and scale care matter as much as coils and burners.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from SKS's own guidance for Machine Clean icon on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Run the dishwasher's cleaning cycle once the Machine Clean icon starts flashing.
Use a dishwasher cleaner appropriate for the machine rather than regular detergent for this cycle.
Turn the automatic reminder on or off as needed by holding the Delicate button for three seconds.
Pair this cycle-count reminder with the manual's separate monthly filter-cleaning schedule.
Cleared?
The reminder is gone from the display, the filter, the screen or the tub has been cleaned or swapped, and the appliance runs a full cycle without calling for it again. A clean-filter light or a descale prompt that returns in days rather than months usually means the part it watches is fouling faster than normal, so mention that when you book.
What not to do
The flashing icon is a scheduled hygiene reminder tied to a cycle counter, not a wash-performance failure; the dishwasher keeps running normal cycles whether or not the cleaning cycle has been run yet.

A booking goes further when it has the reminder or code as shown, the model number from the rating plate, and a word on when that filter, screen or tub was last cleaned. With those three, the office can pack the right filter or cleaner for your appliance.
